Friday April 12, 2013
We
encourage you to arrive at the station at least
one half hour before departure time. The Berlin
will be open for boarding one hour before
departure. Your closest parking garage is the
Grant St Transportation
Center, right
across the street from the Amtrak station. The
Pennsylvanian departs Pittsburgh at 7:20am. Enjoy
the scenery during this full day of travel on the
rails with a continental breakfast, lunch and late
afternoon snacks provided. Our train is scheduled
to arrive in New York City's Penn Station at
4:58pm. Passengers must make hotel arrangements on
their own for April 12 as Amtrak does not allow
occupied parking of private cars in Penn Station
or New York's busy Sunnyside Yard. Once you have
checked in, you can enjoy dinner and a Broadway
show or an evening out on the town.
